What was the purpose of the salma tumultimore march in nineteen sixty five
1 answer
The purpose of the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965 was to advocate for voting rights for African Americans. The march was organized in response to the violent repression of civil rights demonstrators in Selma, Alabama, and aimed to bring attention to the systemic racism and disenfranchisement faced by African Americans in the South. Ultimately, the march led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting practices.
